2018 Vintage- definitely needs a decant , still rather young spiced cake, nutmeg, licorice, medium acidity

Great GSM from Gigondas. Finely balanced. Opens up quickly. Screaming for dinner. Very good. Love Southern Rhône.

Oh my savory goodness.. Cries for some grilled meat but I'll take a log fire and a book instead.

Drinking tight atm, I'm guessing there's a beautiful wine here if given time to unwind.

2017. Even before I opened this tonight, but after I bought the lamb for dinner, I had reminded myself that I’m in love with grenache. Is the southern Rhône my top region? I don’t know. But it’s up there. Really, really up there. This juicy, concentrated, delicious bottle is just one example of why. $25 is a big spend for many wine drinkers, but with wines like this I think your money is well spent. 14.5% abv. And that alcohol is beautifully and sneakily integrated. Enjoy!

Good fruit. Nice finish.

Good red, but was expecting more depth. Perhaps unfair for a mostly Grenache wine, but was hoping for a chateneauf du pape light wine. Really pretty nice, but had some unfair expectations.
